Pet & Farm Electric Fencing

Electric Fence Nemtek has a range of electric fencing products that to keep residential pets and rurual livestocks in safe boundary. These include agricultural series electric farm fencing systems and the Petstop fence kit.

Agricultural Electric Farm Fences The new Nemtek farm specific range of Agri series electric fencing energizers are specifically designed to meet the needs of the Australian farming condition. Durability, reliability, effectiveness and value for money are paramount in every product that bears the Nemtek name. Traditionally electric fence energizers for animal farming control did not have a fence monitor to detect a break in the fence. The detecting feature has become an integral part of game and animal control. It allows the user to monitor the condition of the electric fence at the energizer without having to patrol the fence regularly, thus saving time and money.

Pet Electric Dog Fencing The electric dog fence is designed with dogs in mind, they are purpose built and powered to suit both pet and working dogs. The Nemtek Pet Stop Solar Powered Electric Dog Fencing kit is used to contain your dogs and cats in your property as well as keeps away from unwanted areas such as, flower beds, vegetable gardens etc. The Max range of the Pet Stop kit is 60 metres in boundary line.

Max Fence Length – The length of electric fence wire/tape that can be powered by energizers are a guideline only and apply to optimal/ideal fence conditions. There are lots of factors that will affect the performance of the max boundary length and power output in the max boundary length. Following are list of factors that will influence the distance that energizer can be powered:

Resistance of the fence wire – higher resistant wire means harder to transfer electric current which means shorter electric fence line and less power of output along the wire.

Installation of the fence – how to install the fence: how many electric fence line in one boundary, what is distance between each ground rods, condition of the soil ground etc.

Proximity of the live fence wire to other earth wires – how close the electric wires to the earth wires

Amount of vegetation touching the fence – how many livestocks and pets in the boundary

Earthing of the fence system – a good earthing setup will provide a better electric circle for the fence system

Typical electric fence for small property with good earthing (no ground wire)

If the earthing conditions are good all year round, then a few electric fence level wires are enough. The good condition earthing means getting rains very often in the area, the soil moisture level is good.

If the earthing is not good due to poor soil condition or seasonal changes in solid moisture levels, you will require additional earthing wire to install into the electric fence circle. This makes the electric current runs along the ground wire instead from the ground.

A ground rod need to be installed at least 100 metres away from the energizer ground rod and extra ground rods need to be added at least 100 metres way from each other. This will make sure the electric current runs pass in a shorter circuit. The strength of the output voltage can stays better even in longer distance.

The Recommended Max Length is base on ideal situation, such as combine with energizer that have enough output to power up the max distance, installing the system in good soil ground, installing properly with enough ground wire and ground rods. The Max length is also based on the energizer is powering one single wire in straight line only, not by multiple wires in different lines.

Electric Fence Polywire (wires) Resistance

The resistance of an electrical conductor (electric fence wire) is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current through that conductor. The higher of resistance means harder to pass an electric current. The resistance rate is made for different purpose. The higher resistance wire will suits smaller pets and livestock as it has less voltage output. The lower resistance suits bigger property as it needs to make sure the electric current can travel a longer distance.
